New Computer and Life at Home

Well, Dell sent us our new computer (a model up from ours as we heard they dicontinued the model we originally had, hmmm). We are pretty sure we solved the restarting problem the original computer had. When we got the new computer, Kory first had to switch the CD-ROM drives as they gave us a combined burner and CD-ROM but we wanted it seperate, so he switched the two. Then he put the Micron memory he got from work into the new computer. All was well for a short time but then the new computer restarted too!!!! So Kory played around for awhile and found that it was the memory causing the problem. We came to the conclusion that the original computer had the bad motherboard right off and restarted the computer when we first got it, then Kory added the memory a little while later. The bad motherboard must have corrupted the components on the memory and possibly other components in the computer. Then we got the new motherboard but still had problems because the memory was bad. We threw that memory away and the new computer has worked great. We thought the old one may be okay too without the memory but it still restarted on us still just before we boxed it up to ship it back (other components must be bad in the computer somewhere). So we finally feel our computer problems are finally over after about 4 mos of problems.

McKay proudly showing his Band-Aid off. He got an ouie on his finger about a week ago and just discovered it today and insisted on a Band-Aid.

McKay loves ice cream. He is like me with ice cream. He likes the berry, colorful ice creams and will not eat the chocolate ones. We bought some colored cones (pink, green, and brown). The only color he will eat is the pink. Kory tried to convince him to eat a brown cone and McKay refused. Kory said pink is a girl color and he is around me way too much.
